It ran well until the last time I used it...
What should I do to get it started and start using it again?
Answer #1
You will have to replace the battery as it will have sulphated due to lack of use. Look for obvious signs of bad coolant hoses or deteriorated fan belts. Look to see rodents have not damaged wiring or built a nest in the air filter housing. Check all fluid levels and add fresh gas. Ideally you could remove the spark plugs disable the ignition and crank over the engine for 30 or 40 seconds to build up oil pressure. Reinstall the plugs reattach the ignition and crank over the engine. Run the engine make sure the cooling fan runs and the engine runs in the middle of the gauge. Drive the vehicle then flush the brake fluid and change the engine oil and filter.
THANKS! I read something about removing the spark plugs and adding oil - necessary?

Carolina Chemistry is in an exciting period of rejuvenation as we now occupy recently finished Venable and Murray Halls. Both these buildings connect to Caudill Laboratories as well as Kenan and Morehead Laboratories, and create a magnificent hub for science on the UNC campus. We are very proud and delighted of our world-class, state-of-the-art facilities.
Another thrilling development is the recognition by the American Chemical Society that our department is ranked among the nation's top ten graduate programs. After decades of outstanding research, teaching, and service, it is wonderful for us to be included in that elite group. We intend to stay there!
We believe that we are just at the beginning of a renaissance in the coming decades. The addition of expanded space, new faculty members, added research equipment, as well as our top-ten ranking, will likely lead to an explosion of stellar science. Indeed, our last expansion space, Kenan Laboratories in 1972, was followed by a similar quantum leap in productivity and recognition.
The Electronics Facility provides design and repair services on the UNC campus. Capabilities include analog, digital, and RF design as well as signal processing and software development. In addition, the facility provides circuit simulation, mathematical modeling, and mechanical design in support of prototype production and construction of circuits and instrumentation.
We provide both formal and informal training in electronics and signal processing topics, as well as assist with writing grant proposals and scientific papers. The facility is comprised of two engineers and two technicians with expertise in a wide variety of analytical instrumentation.
The Glass Shop is a full service shop primarily engaged in the design and fabrication of specialized scientific glassware as well as repairs and modifications of existing glassware. We have on hand virtually all sizes of borosilicate (Pyrex and Kimax) glass tubing ranging in size from 2 mm up to 178 mm in diameter.
All sizes of commonly used ground glass joints and a large selection of both glass and Teflon stopcocks are maintained in a large inventory. A smaller selection of quartz tubing and ground joints are also maintained in stock. Special items can be ordered if necessary.
The Mass Spectrometry Facility at Carolina Chemistry is involved in the characterization and quantification of various types of materials, for example small organic and inorganic molecules, proteins and peptides, oligonucleotides, lipids, metabolites, synthetic polymers, nanoparticles, and trace level elemental analysis. Users from the Department of Chemistry and other departments on UNC-Chapel Hill campus can have full access to the laboratory once trained. Researchers from other universities, institutes, and commercial laboratories can submit samples for full service analysis.
Currently the lab houses an IonSpec FTMS with both NanoESI and MALDI, a Bruker BioToF with standard ESI, a Micromass Triple Quadrupole with nESI source, and a Varian ICPMS. The chip based NanoMate can be used on both the Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer and the FTMS.
Support for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy is provided by the Department of Chemistry's NMR Facility for a variety of applications in solution state, solid state and semi-solid samples. Although many NMR active nuclei can be observed, we have extensive capabilities, including highly sensitive cryoprobes, for the detection of 1H, 213151931
Our six spectrometers include two 400 MHz Bruker spectrometers for standard 1D and 2D NMR, a 360 MHz Bruker spectrometer for solids and other unique samples, a Bruker 500 MHz system for advanced applications in multinuclear and reaction kinetics at extreme temperature (+/- 120 C), a Varian/Agilent 600MHz spectrometer mostly used for 1H detection and a Bruker 600 MHz spectrometer equipped with a 60 position sample changer and two cryoprobes.

by James Slater - Unbeaten Cuban star Yuriorkis Gamboa takes the next step towards global stardom next month, when the reigning "Regular" WBA featherweight champion makes his Las Vegas debut. The 28-year-old former Olympian and all-out superb amateur who has lit up the 126-pound weight class with his electric style of fighting, will face durable Mexican and reigning IBF featherweight champ Orlando Salido at The Palms Hotel. Currently 18-0(15) and a champion since April of last year, Gamboa will be a big favourite to win on July 24th. Salido, a year older at age 29 and currently 34-10-2(22) is a fighter Gamboa and his team have referred to as "slow" and the IBF champ is no big puncher. With this fight, it may be a case of can Gamboa get the stoppage, more so than can he get the win. Without a doubt, it would be one big, big upset if the man known as "Siri" were to derail the Cuban express.. Still, Salido - who finally became a belt holder in his last fight, back in May, when he out-pointed tough old campaigner and fellow Mexican Cristobal Cruz in a return match - has only been stopped five times in total and only once in the last ten years. Slower than Gamboa, not as hard-hitting he may be, but the IBF champ doesn't figure to go over easily next month. The slightly taller man with a reasonable reach advantage, Salido will surely look to box and move as best he can and hope Gamboa's fast attack slows in the later rounds. Gamboa was taken the full 12-rounds in his last fight, when he out-pointed the undefeated Jonathon Victor Barros in March, and maybe, just maybe, Salido will also see it to the finish line. Then again, Gamboa, known as "El Ciclon de Guanta-namo," is a lethal puncher when he's in the mood, and he's in the mood most of the time! Perhaps the Miami-based star of the future wanted to get a distance fight under his belt at championship level last time out. In making his Vegas debut, I'd be willing to bet that Gamboa wants very much to put on a spectacular showing against Salido, and that could be bad news for the IBF champ who is perhaps best known for his 2006, 12-round No-Decision of a fight with Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero (Salido failed the post-fight drugs test). The Mexican, like all Mexican fighters, is tough, and Salido has also been in with some of the best featherweights of the last five years or so - including Juan Manuel Marquez, Guerrero and Cruz (twice). As such, it's highly unlikely he will be fazed at the thought of facing Gamboa. All of Salido's stoppage losses came early in his career - four of them in his first twelve pro bouts (Salido was actually stopped in his pro debut in 1996) - and his chin has proven reliable ever since. But has he ever met a fighter with a blend of speed and power the likes of which Gamboa possesses? A quick blast out doesn't look likely, but Gamboa will, in my opinion, get the stoppage he is looking for as he claims his second "world" title; in around six or seven rounds. Then, hopefully, the promoters will match the sensational Cuban with the fighters the fans really want to see him get it on with; Juan Manuel Lopez being at the top of this list.

Democracy, Taxes, and WealthJames R. RepettiBoston College - Law School New York University Law Review, Vol. 76, pp. 825-873, June 2001 Boston College Law School Legal Studies Research Paper No. 2001-03 Abstract: This article demonstrates why wealth concentration matters and why the tax system should be used to help control wealth concentration. It shows that wealth concentration appears to be related to slow economic growth because of the lack of opportunities. It also shows that wealth concentration adversely affects the democratic process. It argues that because inheritances represent approximately fifty percent of wealth, wealth transfers should be taxed so long as the tax provides benefits that outweigh any assoiated harms. Using the current estate tax as a case study, the article concludes that a wealth transfer tax raises significant revenues and helps curb upward spiralling wealth concentration. Moreover, contrary to what has commonly been asserted, empirical studies generally show that the tax does not discourage savings.

Seconds after the runner-up medal was placed around her neck, Carli Lloyd took it off and clutched it in her hand. It wasn't the prize she and the Western New York Flash wanted at Sahlen's Stadium on Saturday night.
But the Flash admitted it: The third-seeded Portland Thorns beat them, 2-0, to capture the inaugural National Women's Soccer League championship in front of a crowd of 9,129 .
They marched into Rochester, where top-seeded WNY (11-5-8) hadn't lost in 11 straight - all the way back to April 27 - and beat the Flash fair (pretty much) and square. It spoiled WNY's bid to win a fourth straight ...

An exact fractional portion of a sample taken for analysis.
Alpha particle
A charged particle, identical to the helium nucleus, comprising two protons and two neutrons that are emitted during decay of certain radioactive atoms. Alpha particles are stopped by several centimeters of air or a sheet of paper.
Ambient air
The surrounding atmosphere, usually the outside air, as it exists around people, plants, and structures. It does not include the air next to emission sources.
A saturated layer of rock or soil below the ground surface that can supply usable quantities of ground water to wells and springs. Aquifers can be a source of water for domestic, agricultural, and industrial uses.

Categorical process
An industrial process governed by federal regulation(s) of wastewater discharges.
Collective effective dose equivalent
The sum of the effective dose equivalents of all individuals in an exposed population within a certain radius, usually 80 kilometers for NESHAPs compliance. This value is expressed in units of person-sievert (SI) or person-rem (conventional).
Any hazardous or radioactive material present in an environmental medium such as air, water, or vegetation.
Controlled area
Any Laboratory area with controlled access to protect individuals from exposure to radiation and radioactive materials.

12 disintegrations per minute (conventional units).Discharge
A release of a liquid into an area not controlled by LBNL.
The quantity of radiation energy absorbed during a given period of time.
Dose, absorbed
The energy imparted to matter by ionizing radiation per unit mass of irradiated material. The unit of absorbed dose is the gray (SI) or rad (conventional).
Dose, effective
The hypothetical whole-body dose that would give the same risk of cancer mortality and/or serious genetic disorder as a given exposure and that may be limited to just a few organs. The effective dose equivalent is equal to the sum of individual organ doses, each weighted by degree of risk that the organ dose carries. For example, a 1-millisievert dose to the lung, which has a weighting factor of 0.12, gives an effective dose that is equivalent to 0.12 millisievert (1 ´ 0.12).
Dose, equivalent
A term used in radiation protection that expresses all types of radiation (alpha, beta, and so on) on a common scale for calculating the effective absorbed dose. It is the product of the absorbed dose and certain modifying factors. The unit of dose equivalent is the sievert (SI) or rem (conventional).
Dose, maximum boundary
The greatest dose commitment, considering all potential routes of exposure, from a facility's operation to a hypothetical individual who is in an uncontrolled area where the highest dose rate occurs. It assumes that the hypothetical individual is present 100% of the time (full occupancy), and it does not take into account shielding by obstacles such as buildings or hillsides.
Dose, maximum individual
The greatest dose commitment, considering all potential routes of exposure, from a facility's operation to an individual at or outside the LBNL boundary where the highest dose rate occurs. It takes into account shielding and occupancy factors that would apply to a real individual.
Dose, population
The sum of the radiation doses to individuals of a population. It is expressed in units of person-sievert (SI) or person-rem (conventional). For example, if 1000 people each received a radiation dose of 1 sievert, their population dose would be 1000 person-sievert.

Commonly used to describe the flow of groundwater from higher to lower concentration. Analogous to "downstream."
Effective dose equivalent
Abbreviated EDE, it is the sum of the products of the dose equivalent received by specified tissues of the body and a tissue-specific weighting factor. This sum is a risk-equivalent value and can be used to estimate the health risk of the exposed individual. The tissue-specific weighting factor represents the fraction of the total health risk resulting from uniform whole-body irradiation that would be contributed by that particular tissue. The EDE includes the committed EDE from internal deposition of radionuclides and the EDE due to penetrating radiation from sources external to the body. EDE is expressed in units of sievert (SI) or rem (conventional).
A liquid waste discharged to the environment.
A release of air to the environment containing gaseous or particulate matter having one or more contaminants.
Environmental remediation
The process of restoring a contaminated area to a noncontaminated or safe condition.

Other electromagnetic radiation, such as microwaves, visible light, and radio waves, have longer wavelengths (lower energy) and cannot cause ionization.
A subsurface body of water in a zone of saturated soil sediments.
Half-Life, radioactive
The time required for the activity of a radioactive substance to decrease to half its value by inherent radioactive decay. After two half-lives, one-fourth of the original activity remains (1/2 ´ 1/2); after three half-lives, one-eighth of the original activity remains (1/2 ´ 1/2 ´ 1/2); and so on.
Hazardous waste
Waste exhibiting any of the following characteristics: ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or EP-toxicity (yielding toxic constituents in a leaching test). Because of its concentration, quantity, physical, or chemical characteristics, it may (1) cause or significantly contribute to an increase in mortality rates or cases of serious irreversible illness or (2) pose a substantial present or potential threat to human health or the environment when improperly treated, stored, transported, disposed of, or handled.
Internal radiation
Radiation from a source within the body as a result of deposition of radionuclides in body tissues by processes such as ingestion, inhalation, or implantation. Potassium (
40K), a naturally occurring radionuclide, is a major source of internal radiation in living organisms.Millirem
A common unit for reporting radiation dose. A millirem is one thousandth (10
-3) of a rem. See Rem.Nuclide
A species of atom characterized by what constitutes the nucleus, which is specified by the number of protons, number of neutrons, and energy content; or, alternatively, by the atomic number, mass number, and atomic mass. To be regarded as a distinct nuclide, the atom must be able to exist for a measurable length of time.
Organic compound
A chemical whose primary constituents are carbon and hydrogen.
Part B permit
The second, narrative section submitted by generators in the RCRA permitting process. It details the procedures followed at a facility to protect human health and the environment.
The unit of population dose, which expresses the sum of radiation exposures received by a population. For example, two persons, each with a 0.5-rem exposure, receive 1 person-rem, and 500 people, each with an exposure of 0.002 rem, also receive 1 person-rem.
A measure of hydrogen ion concentration in an aqueous solution. Acidic solutions have a pH less than 7, basic solutions have a pH greater than 7, and neutral solutions have a pH of 7.
Generally, a small-diameter, nonpumping well used to measure the elevation of the water table or potentiometric surface. The water table is an imaginary surface that represents the static head of groundwater and is defined by the level to which water will rise.

Any process used to reduce a pollutant load before wastewater enters the sewer system.
Priority pollutants
A set of organic and inorganic chemicals identified by US/EPA as indicators of environmental contamination
A unit of absorbed dose from ionizing radiation (0.877 rad/roentgen).

The property or characteristic of a nucleus of an atom to spontaneously disintegrate, accompanied by the emission of energy in the form of radiation.
Arising from radiation or radioactive materials.
An unstable nuclide. See nuclide and radioactivity.
Recharge zone
An area of the ground in which surface water migrates to the groundwater.
Stands for "roentgen equivalent man." A unit of ionizing radiation, equal to the amount of radiation needed to produce the same biological effect to humans as 1 rad of high-voltage x-rays. It is the product of the absorbed dose, quality factor, distribution factor, and other necessary modifying factors. It describes the effectiveness of various types of radiation in producing biological effects.
See Environmental remediation.
A unit of radiation exposure that expresses exposure in terms of the amount of ionization produced by x or gamma rays in a volume of air. One roentgen is 2.58´10
4 coulombs per kilogram of air.Sievert
A unit of radiation dose equivalent. The sievert is the SI unit equivalent to the rem. It is the product of the absorbed dose, quality factor, distribution factor, and other necessary modifying factors. It describes the effectiveness of various types of radiation to produce biological effects. One sievert equals 100 rem.

Not our usual Screen Rant genre material but here's the UK poster for Séraphine, a film about the French painter Séraphine Louis (also known as Séraphine de Senlis), who was a cleaning lady suffering from mental problems with an incredible talent for painting.
The French art collector who hired her noticed the talent but had to flee from the small town he lived in near Paris (where he had hired her to work) – he later returned to help share her talent with the world.
Séraphine made the run of the festival circuit throughout last year but hits theaters in the UK, Russia and other spots around Europe next month.

A coastal-area food bank is raising money to replace its freezer. America's Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia lost its freezer when the roof collapsed during a Labor Day weekend storm. The expense comes at a hard time for the food bank and the needy clients it serves.

No More Icy, Wet Weather: Thanksgiving Forecast Is Sunny, Slightly Warmer
After three days of cold, wet weather, Georgians can look forward to sunny and slightly warmer conditions throughout Thanksgiving and the weekend. "It will do nothing but improve from now to then," said National Weather Service meteorologist George Wetzel on Wednesday afternoon. Wetzel says the winds will start dying down on Wednesday night, leading to cooler temperatures on Thursday morning. Despite a morning temperature drop into the lower 20s, Thursday afternoon will be sunny and clear, with a high near 52 degrees. That's good news for last-minute travelers.

I have heard many pros and cons regarding Barack Obama's speech. Many found it intelligent and courageous. Rather than disassociate himself from his pastor, he offered another explanation. Because he had attended this pastor's services for 20 years, the pastor had "become part of the family." It is said that you can choose your friends, but you can't choose your relatives. It is also said that people judge you by the company you keep. How can one be in the company of someone who goes against everything you supposedly believe, especially with so much at stake?
Speeches are given to win votes. That is why speechwriters exist. We can never know what is genuine. Obama may be sincere, but if he is, I cannot understand why he would attend a church that breeds such contempt for the country he wants to serve as president. How strong could his principles be? How can you listen to such accusations and not feel alienated enough to leave? We needn't agree with everything our religious leaders say, but when the message is so destructive and anti-America, I wonder about Obama's loyalties and priorities.

Early Life of Kalpana Chawla
Early Life of Kalpana Chawla, Indian astronaut
Early life of Kalpana Chawla were governed on a simple Indian way of living, discipline and education.
Kalpana Chawla was born on March 17, 1962, in Karnal. Kalpana Chawla's parents originally came to Karnal (city in
) from the Multan district of West
(now in Pakistan) after the Partition of India after independence. When her father, Banarsi Lai Chawla, was leaving his hometown of Sheikhopura, communal riots broke out. He was one of the few survivors in the family who managed to reach India safely but without any possessions. The family finally settled down in Karnal, Haryana. It was precisely here in the Haryana city-town that Kalpana Chawla cherished most of her early life.
When Kalpana Chawla was born her father was still a petty businessman trying hard to support his growing joint family of sixteen members. For his own survival, Kalpana's father started several petty businesses, from selling toffees, groundnuts, dates and soaps as a street hawker, to manufacturing metal boxes for storing provisions and even setting up a textile shop. Finally, he became a self-taught technologist and engineer and began manufacturing tyres when the Indian market was flooded with imported tyres. Meanwhile, he married Sanyogita, a highly religious young woman, whose family also came from the same region in Pakistan. Kalpana's early life had an archetypal Indian setting, where she was brought up in an environment where hard work was encouraged. The youngest child among three girls and one boy, she was treated like any other girl in the family, expected to be obedient and docile. But Kalpana's mother came from an educated family and was always ready to fight for her daughters. In fact, by the time Kalpana grew up, her eldest sister Sunita, eight years her senior, had already broken several family traditions. She had done well in school and gone for higher education to college, which was a taboo for girls in those days.
Even as a child, Kalpana Chawla began to show her independent nature and she even selected her own name. It so happened that she was called by her pet name 'Monto' at home. Her parents were always so busy that Kalpana had not been formally named at a proper ceremony. When Sunita and her aunt took Kalpana for admission to a nearby-nursery school, the Principal asked her name. Sunita answered that they had three names in mind - Kalpana, Jyotsna and Sunaina, but they were yet undecided. The Principal therefore asked the little girl (Kalpana) as to which name would she prefer. And she promptly replied, Kalpana. It becomes pretty obvious that early life of Kalpana Chawla had started with much fun and frolic, with dollops of discipline put in.
Like the name she chose, which means 'imagination', Kalpana Chawla was a highly imaginative child. During summer when the family slept on the roof of their small house in an isolated corner of Model Town colony, she would watch the night sky. Staring at the twinkling stars she wondered what they were, dreaming they beckoned to her and if it was ever possible to reach them. She would often ask questions about space, but would rarely receive a satisfactory answer. Into her early years of life, stars captivated Kalpana so much that once when she and her classmates built a physical geography map of India covering the floor of an entire classroom in her school, Tagore Baal Niketan, she covered its ceiling completely with stars - sparkling dots marked on blackened newspapers.
Like stars in the night sky, the first things in the blue morning sky that caught her fancy were aeroplanes. Karnal is one of the few Indian towns with a flying club. It was called 'Karnal Aviation Club' and is now a part of the Haryana Institute of Civil Aviation. Here, small Pushpak planes and gliders regularly take off and lands. As her house was a few kilometres away from the Club, her favourite pastime was to climb up to the roof and watch them go roaring over her head. Bewitched, she would wave her hand at the pilot if the plane flew low over the house. Since her early years in life, Kalpana Chawla was fantastically attracted to the blue emptiness above, beguiled to know more.
Whenever her teachers asked her class to draw scenery, she would always draw aeroplanes flying in the sky, while the rest made mountains, rivers and houses. She also loved making models of aeroplanes during craft classes.
In one such incident during a class, Kalpana asked her teacher Daljit K. Madan whether she had ever flown in an aeroplane. When she said no, Kalpana enquired whether she was afraid of flying. At the tiny age of eleven, she persuaded her father to take her to the Club and had a thrilling joyride aboard a Pushpak. From that day on, flying became her first love. She became as excited as a child whenever she saw planes or talked about them.
Early life of Kalpana Chawla can be termed as an incredible breakaway from typical Indian girl's routined life, with variances gradually becoming a regular affair. Although Kalpana never scored the highest marks in her class, she was always among the first five. Sincere, hard-working and attentive, she respected and admired her teachers. She enjoyed subjects like English, Hindi and geography, but her favourite subject was science, taught by Nirmala Namboodripad, who took pains to make the subject simple and interesting. Kalpana also wrote poetry and danced at the annual day celebrations. She loved cycling and running and at sports meets she always came first in the races. Friendly and helpful, she often played badminton and dodge ball with boys. As she grew into a young woman, she cut her hair short and never put on any make-up. She refused to cook, never ironed her clothes and began to wear trousers or jeans.
In those days, most girls in Karnal completed their education, got married and settled down. But Kalpana's teachers at school encouraged the girls not to waste their education and do something more worthwhile in life. Belonging to middle or lower middle class families, the girls were also keen on higher studies and earning a living. And here lies the yawning difference between Kalpana and her other counterparts. Since her early life, i.e., by the tenth class, Kalpana had also made up her mind. Whenever any visitor asked her what she wanted to become in life, she would readily reply, 'A Flight Engineer!' She thought that a flight engineer designs aeroplanes, as nobody had explained that a flight engineer navigates an aeroplane during its flight. Once she saw a photograph of the Viking lander on the planet Mars in a popular weekly and her imaginative mind woke up to the possibility of travelling in space and landing on the Red Planet.
Like her elder sisters Kalpana was admitted to an exclusive girls college - DAV College for Women for her Pre-University. She passed her tenth class from the Haryana Board Examination in 1976. Actually, she was underage and got away by changing her date of birth from March 17, 1962 to July 1, 1961. Slowly passing from an early life, Kalpana Chawla had moved into the level of college education, the transition taking place quite subtly.

Fiorina Pledges HPs Grid Commitment
Fiorina Pledges HPs Grid Commitment
Matthew Hicks
Posted 2003-09-11
Hewlett-Packard's CEO told OracleWorld attendees her company will continue its drive for grid computingand took some thinly veiled shots at rival Dell.
SAN FRANCISCOTaking jabs at top competitor
Dell Inc.
, Hewlett-Packard Co. CEO Carly Fiorina on Wednesday promised OracleWorld attendees here an aggressive push into grid computing based on adding grid capabilities to more products, supporting open standards, and focusing on research and development.
Fiorina, never mentioning Dell by name, referred repeatedly to Dell CEO Michael Dells Monday keynote address. Dell had come on stage with a cast on one ankle, which he said was caused after a horse fell on it.
"Some are trying to ride this horse before theyre ready, and as you heard earlier this week thats a good way to hurt your foot," Fiorina said during her address. While agreeing that standards are at the heart of grid, she also blasted competitorsnamely, Dellfor claiming that research and development doesnt matter. Achieving enterprise-level grid computing requires technological innovation to help companies tie together far-flung data centers running multiple operating systems and platforms, Fiorina said. "You have to talk to a real technology company," she said. "Grid is about a whole lot more than a single rack and a lot of servers." Fiorina said that HP plans in the next year to 18 months to extend the grid support it has begun incorporating into its server line,
as eWEEK previously reported
. HP already has grid-enabled its PA-RISC, Integrity, Alpha and ProLiant server lines with the Globus Toolkit and Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA) 2.0 and will add similar support for its entire consumer and commercial product lines, Fiorina said. The move to grid computing, however, will take enterprises between three and five years as they evolve their data centers, Fiorina said. Thats because significant challenges remain. These include the complexity of the grid software itself, such as the Globus Toolkit; the security issues of sharing applications across data centers; the interoperating of heterogeneous systems; and the development of open standards. "We are focused squarely on the management and execution of grid services," Fiorina said. The ultimate goal of grid computing in the enterprises isnt for high-end scientific research but for moving all of IT to become a service to users, a strategy HP is calling the "Adaptive Enterprise," Fiorina said. "Business priorities drive IT," Fiorina said of the grid promise. "IT has to become a platform for the efficient and effective operation of the business." Fiorinas keynote kicked off the final day of OracleWorld, which was interrupted on Wednesday after a
bomb scare
led to the evacuation of the Moscone Center. In opening todays sessions,
Oracle Executive Vice President Charles Phillips
addressed the disruption that occurred on the eve of todays anniversary of the Sept. 11 tragedy. "Its unfortunate that these things happen," he told attendees. "We opted on the side of caution." Phillips said an extra security sweep of the show was conducted Thursday morning and more security was added. Attendees also observed a moment of silence to remember the Sept. 11 victims. Discuss this in the eWEEK forum.
As an online reporter for eWEEK.com, Matt Hicks covers the fast-changing developments in Internet technologies. His coverage includes the growing field of Web conferencing software and services. With eight years as a business and technology journalist, Matt has gained insight into the market strategies of IT vendors as well as the needs of enterprise IT managers. He joined Ziff Davis in 1999 as a staff writer for the former Strategies section of eWEEK, where he wrote in-depth features about corporate strategies for e-business and enterprise software. In 2002, he moved to the News department at the magazine as a senior writer specializing in coverage of database software and enterprise networking. Later that year Matt started a yearlong fellowship in Washington, DC, after being awarded an American Political Science Association Congressional Fellowship for Journalist. As a fellow, he spent nine months working on policy issues, including technology policy, in for a Member of the U.S. House of Representatives. He rejoined Ziff Davis in August 2003 as a reporter dedicated to online coverage for eWEEK.com. Along with Web conferencing, he follows search engines, Web browsers, speech technology and the Internet domain-naming system.

Blade runner, inner zoom
This 2.5 gigapixel photo of Delft reminded me of the scene in Blade Runner, where Deckard analyzes fine grained details of a photo he found at a crime scene. The photo has infinite depth and Deckard is able to "center, enhance" again and again and again. The Delft photo has unbelievable zoom as well. Almost infinite.
Of course for real infinite zoom, you still have to rely on the imagination, the only place where infinity exists.
